No Writing Tonight

Just a Crazy Busy Day…

It was a Monday. Errands from the moment I left the house until after five.

Then workshop stuff at WMG, then home to do e-mail, take a nap, cook dinner, and then back on workshop assignments. Today and tomorrow has April workshops ending and May workshops starting assignments.

Crazy amounts of stuff, plus doing some reading on the Strengths workshop and on the short story challenge. (Yes, still taking sign-ups on the Strength workshops.)

Plus Kris gave me a brand new novella I wanted to get reading.

Yeah, I have a tough life, reading stories. But alas, someone has to do it. (grin)

But no writing tonight. I expected that. Expect it for tomorrow as well.

All the details and planned new lectures after the business lectures are listed in the post two days ago or under the lecture tab. More detailed descriptions added as the recording starts for each one.

Amazing stuff for only $15 or $20 bucks. And AbleGamers is the charity on this bundle, which is one of the best causes I have ever seen.

THE ALIENS AMONG US Bundle

I am super proud to be a part of this bundle and having a chance to work with Allyson Longuiera to put it together. Take a look. I don’t think you can find a better group of science fiction novels at this price.

THE LIGHT IN THE DARK… YA Bundle

Yes, I sometimes write young adult as well.

My very first published young adult novel was an Iron Man novel. It was called, if I remember right, Steel Terror. Part of a series one publisher was doing back in the early 1990s in conjunction with Marvel. I had fun writing it, but the series died and that was it.

Over the years I wrote a few other young adult novels and stories here and there. But I have two ya novels that were in Smith’s Monthly, first as a serial, then as stand-alone novels. Now, you can get one of those novels in a nifty Storybundle called THE LIGHT IN THE DARK YA BUNDLE.

The book I have in this bundle is a pure western young adult called The Life and Times of Buffalo Jimmy. I hope this winter to write more Buffalo Jimmy novels for Smith’s Monthly.
